From where I sit... Jy Joe Marsh,
Sam Hackney Reports
on the U.S.A.
fom November, according to an
analysis of government reports
made by The University of Texas
Bureau of Business Research.
Consumption was greater than
in Dec amber 1945, however, by
20 per cent. Consumption of cot-
ton linters totaled l.KM running
bales for a decline of 18 per
cent from November but was 3
per cent in excess of consumption
in December 1045.
Sam Hackney and the misaus
)ust returned from a trailer trip
around the country. They're tired,
and glad to be home, but mighty
impressed with what they saw.
As Sam reports—every section
has something different; a differ-
ent way of talking; different tastes
in food and drink; different laws
and customs. But bigger than all
these differences is the American
spirit of tolerance that lets us live
together in united peace.
"Of course," says Sam, "you run
into intolerance from time to
time. Individuals who criticize an-
other's right to speak his mind;
enjoy a glass of beer: or work at
any trade he chooses. But those are
the exceptions—and we're even
tolerant of them!"
From where I sit, more of us
ought to make a trip like tho
Hackneys — to realize firsthand
how America is bigger than its
many differences ... how tolerance
of those differences is the very
thing that makes us strong.
